Streamer #2...i was thinking about a stinger hook but i dont have any of that stuff. no idea what a carry stevens hook is...

Should be studying but thought I'd try and tie a couple up...the largest one is 8.5". Just used some materials I had laying around. I dont have any epoxy but i used head cement to seperate the stuff on the bottom. Any suggestions, opinions?? Thanks, Mitch

This is the vice I use...no idea what it is...pretty cheap but it got handed down from my grandpa who never used it.

Great! thanks, had this one bookmarked but i forgot about it! great setup, kudos.

I know SA lines do. I tried the loop on two lines but the both started cracking right above the loop....I now cut the loop off tho and tie some 20lb maxima and make a loop.

I lost all my bookmarks when my comp crashed. Anyone know of some good ones? I really am too lazy to search around the internet for different patterns from different sites all the time..... I have flytyingforum.com, westfly.com.....i did have about 20 bookmarked... Any help would be great! thanks.

I picked up a pair of Reddington's this spring. Great wader until the seams in my right foot started to go and was wet wading, as well as the front zipper broke. Took them back today and Russell's replaced them for me! Mine were the $200 pair.

Do a search on the site...and on the FFC archives...tons of info on the site already.

Thanks guys. I will try making the body a little fuller as you suggested as well with the biots. Kungfool, have you tried your pattern with a bead head, or any other added weight? Ps. threw some lotion on my hands for you sjw.

I cant afford to buy any books so i just use the internet...thats how i learned...tons of resources out there, just an option..or use both.

Tied these up just now...not sure about the boatman...hopefully kungfool can point some things out for me. Any insight on them would be great! thanks. Mitch Boatman GRHE sorry for the double post...dont know how to get rid of one...

After hooking into this fish about 6-7 times this summer and loosing him each time I finally got him today....i know hes not overly big, but 22" is up there!!!

wish i took last year off. hated every minute of it, and my grades showed it. IMO, no point in waisting your money if you not going to do well and actually learn something. (wish i knew that last yr). wish i could take this year off? hell yes....dreading tommorows first day...

dont think so, said he had fun but he kept relating it to a perfect golf shot........

Was out in BC for the long weekend. My dad had heard about a high elevation lake up behind our place so we thought it would be cool to try and find it. I had also wanted to teach my dad how to fly fish and figured this would be a good chance. After a day of lessons and planning we headed out. It was about a 2hr quad ride to the lake. As we pulled up fish were rising and I was getting excited to hopefully get my dad into his first fish on the fly rod. I rigged him up with one of my rods and through on a royal wulff. First cast, BAM. fish on!!! It was pretty steady for him from there on out. None of the fish were over 10", but it was a blast and was happy to share the experience with him.

I quit work the other day, and am heading up to nordegg and working my way back down towards calgary along the ftr for a week. I'll be by myself so if anyone is out there and sees a black 4 door blazer come say hi. leaving tommorow morning. Mitch

Havent caught my line on the adjustment knob, but definitely notice the wobble. Also be sure to check the screws that hold the hand knob as mine tend to come loose, and bring screwdrivers with you if you hike a good couple hours and that happens.

I have two of them and really like them. only thing is that it a quiet reel, no making ppl look up from the zinnnng.

usually do, but seeing as two bikes of mine have been stolen in the last month, im thinking twice about it

my computer is down but had this one on my cam. still one of my best shots, i like how you can see the fly in its lip.
